Abstract excerpt
We previously identified a novel mutation in amyloid precursor protein from a Japanese pedigree of familial Alzheimer's disease, FAD (Osaka). Our previous positron emission tomography (PET) study revealed that amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation was negligible in two sister cases of this pedigree, indicating a possibility that this mutation induces dementia without forming senile plaques. To further explore the...
